Excerpt from NZ Herald article. Yes its unlawful in NZ to lose traction in a vehicle!

Sergeant Lester Polglase said boy racers were a problem in many areas in Tauranga.
Police issued up to 10 tickets a week for sustained loss of traction, he said today.
"Some weeks it might be 10, some weeks it might be none. We probably average four or five a week," Mr Polglase said.
He said the area of Welcome Bay where last week's alleged incident occurred was one of many spots favoured by boy racers.
"It's basically all over - if you have a look at Maungatapu and the skid marks over there, Ohauiti - you'll find places over there, it's just rife across the whole town."

I guess the crime levels over there must be as low as they are here then, for cops to be putting so much of their resources into this.--

When I went to Banff, Canada a couple of years ago, the front page crime on the local rag was drunk in possession of a skateboard. Yes, really!
Perhaps thats where we went wrong in this country years ago. Certainly wasn't worried about going out at night there, except for the bears that is...
